Umbrella terms are the bread and butter of the fitness industry as health and wellness are for supplements. Gimmicks and fads all hide behind the terms as they bastardize the truth. Any ways great video James.I really wish we could have you at the real weights for real heroes event but I know it would be costly, so ill drop a 20 dollar donation in your name brother.
Maybe some of you guys can get some good footage of the event for us living overseas. Such a great cause, thanks Dustin.
Thanks James.
I view functional to describe stuff that replicates real world tasks compared to bodybuilding which is focused around building aesthetics. Whilst all muscle and exercise has a function, the movements I use on a day to day basis I want to improve. One of the fundamentals for me would be lots of carries, including deadlifts. I wouldn't ignore training just because it involves a barbell if it targets a general movement like crouching down and lifting a heavy weight off the floor, whereas I might skip the loaded squat as I find that movement isn't often engaged in my day to day but do replace it with static deadlifts and suitcase carrys with a kettlebell.
I am a beginner and i understood nothing in your video. I am only saying this to help you, so that you can know how to make a presentation that could also be helpful for someone who has just started their journey in fit lifestyle.
More people need to watch this channel - I’ve learned so much and hope others can benefit from Mr. Linker’s vast knowledge.
100% agree with every second of this video. From movement patterns being a sub-category of functional training...to barbells...to corrective exercise. Overall, as someone with a Masters in ES, this is about the only fitness channel i can watch for an extended period of time without questioning whether or not they actually understand the material that they are presenting.
Thank you Gabriel, I appreciate you taking the time to watch
So true! Never understood why there is such a tendency for people to go very light or very heavy with their external rotation. It seems that some people treat it solely as a warm up or warm down exercise (going too light) or completely abandon form in order to go too heavy. It seems very common and yet often goes ignored.
Very informative. Love the details and thank you!
Thanks for another quality video. IMO you're up there with EDDF and athleanx with your informative work. Keep it up
👍🏻
Thankyou, very kind
Barbells have feelings too.
haha
Very well said. Great video once again.
Love your videos man, found your channel a few days ago after EDDF's recommendation. Keep it up 💪
Thankyou Sindri
Thank you James, really useful points.
Thank you for watching
Very good information and a good channel.. Very underrated in my opinion
Thank you Omar
I consider putting away one's weights to be one of the most functional of all fitness exercises (paraphrasing Dom Mazzetti or Elgintensity, I think). Hopefully someone from my gym sees this:-)
Thank you, James.
Love the new ending James haha
Perfect video for me. I'd really gotten my ahoulder muscles out of balance. JC has hints of how to overcome this and I'v een at it for 2 months. Maade progress but it's slow. Can do some pressing movements now but still no overhead ones. At least I know how to correct it now and that puts my mind at easse. Now I have two sources I respect leading me to the correct path.
Most excellent video thank you for explaining it correctly
Nicely presented chap.
The cable machines have been life changing for me!
They are excellent for exercise variations
Bands are better
Love the explanation
great video.. excellent 3D graphics to illustrate anatomy. videos better every day.. keep going!
Thank you for watching
Rotator cuff muscles must cocontract in order to support ghj correctly and yes just because we train muscles in one plane sometimes it doesn't mean they are not being trainned in a functional way also we can not completely isolate muscles they always work as a functional units as you have mentioned before dead lift or squat are very much functional exercises
Thankyou Edith, very good points
Great video! Perhaps a series on preventative exercises and/or injury avoidance for each exercise?
Amazing! Thank you!
Thanks Sorin
I'm not an expert. But this has been the most helpful channel, and most helpful source of training information, ever for me.
Thank you.
Subs have increased almost 50% in about a month
Thanks for watching
Great content
Good points!
Thank you Rafal
Thx sir for another insightful video on the rotator cuff one of the most utilized muscle groups, the impingement of the rotator cuff has prohibited the progress of my training & probably for many other types of sport imaginable. I have sustained this most irritating injury for months without relief, why is it so difficult & so long to heal?
Thanks for watching Wilson
excellent pullup form
Great...do a series on health maintenance after 40 for men...love from pakistan
I love the new videos but I miss the in-depth nature of your old videos.
I remember Jeff Cavaliere recommending that you put a small rolled up towel under your armpit for this exercise, It forces you to keep your elbow close to your body. When I do that I feel more focus on the rotator cuff
That is a good idea to maintain good form
🤘right on target
Please do a parody peer review of Dom Mazzetti.
Functional=Specifisity, Funcional=/=Daily life
Could you do those final pull ups in your next video? :)
1:17 was that an upright row? :O
Good vidio nam
Firstly, Just subscribed and watched a good chunk of your videos. Glad to see more genuine knowledge coming to the UA-cam fitness world.
Secondly, I saw a UA-cam ad yesterday, is was that damn Vshred plonker, mispronouncing 'somatotypes' and generally being his annoying self. What are your thoughts on this and also your thoughts on somatotypes, I've seen people preaching they are nonsense.
Thanks for watching Mike, I appreciate it
A squat is functional depending of what function u mean brilliant love the content
Thanks Fergal, I appreciate it
The only pressing movement I do is the overhead press. I don't do any benching doesn't matter if it's with a barbell or a dumbbell.
Functional training in a logical sense is to make your everyday life, sports performance and body in general much stronger, healthier move more competently and stable
But functional training is very very personally specific
Alot of excercises all there people on youtube and bodybuilders especially are training general muscle strength but true functional training should be tailored to improve your specific everyday movements and specific sport performance
If your a farmer, or factory worker they functional movements for you would be lifting and carrying weight, arm strength, rotational stability etc, so although pull ups or squats are good to do they're not really going to improve your safety at lifting heavy boxes or carrying buckets repetitively
Train what you do daily
Hi! Do you have any opinions about Les Mill's Bodypump? Good/Bad ? Maybe you can make a video about it?
I am not overly familiar with it.
What do you think of the exercise Y,T,W’s on the TRX suspension for correcting shoulder unbalances?
I just had a shoulder ultrasound because I had a lot of clicking /crunching and pain in my right shoulder. What does this mean?
Partial medial subluxation of the long head of biceps tendon and effusion in the tendon sheath.
7 x 6 x 3mm interstitial tear of the supraspinatus tendon on a background of tendinosis.
Chronic infraspinatus and subscapularis tendinosis.
Teres minor tendon is intact.
Mild to moderate subacromial-sub deltoid bursitis.
The posterior labrum and AC joint appear normal.
Impingement demonstrated on dynamic movement assessment of the right shoulder.
Is there a structured "functional" training program you recommend for addressing muscle imbalances?
Would like to see this too
Guilty, I ignore my rotator cuffs. I have several major tears on my right side (surgeon described it as spaghetti), and two minor tears on my left side. I'm extremely high risk for any type of surgery, so they won't be getting repaired. It's not a big deal, I really don't even notice it anymore. Just wondering if there would be any benefit if I did do some isolation work?

I was in the same boat, horrible shoulders from my time in the military, but I integrated resistance bands, and my shoulders are alot better...you might know this or not, but I've noticed if you start off with a resistance band that is thick, do one handed of the head presses, it noticed it works the stabilizer muscles as well, then I jump into my "normal" shoulder workout
war machine Yep, mine are partly due to 13 years of service, then also throwing a baseball or football a few hundred thousand times. The majority of my shoulder work is on cables, but bands might help for external rotation.
I was just gonna mention resistance bands, we have to be very careful with injuries, build up slowly
What is that exercise at 1:18? That is a sure fire way to wreck your shoulders. For someone who knows a lot about bio mechanics I was surprised to see you do that.
That is an upright power row, fantastic for developing power, very good for athletes and for nervous system activation. It will not wreck my shoulders because of my programming. I am using a moderate weight- 50kg and I am not using a high rep range, I was training until my performance decreased, not to failure, so it was maybe 4 reps at most with 50kg. I train external rotation also so the internally rotated position of the upright power row is not an inherent problem.
Shredded Sports Science thanks for the reply, athlean x has a good video recommending that people ditch the upright row and that movement looks even worse.
Shredded Sports Science I understand that you have the conditioning to handle that movement so that is fair enough. I assume Jeff takes a more conservative approach because of a duty of care to his legion of followers who would copy the exercises he demonstrates. So he stays away from those movements that could be dangerous for the novice. BTW one of the best fitness channels on UA-cam. Keep up the great work.
You mentioned form, that should be obvious. Would control as well be something to be cognizant of?
Thank you in advance.
if push exercises train internal rotation as well, would pull exercises train external rotation as well?
Seeing as functional training started from rehabilitation, it's always going to be lighter weight and using correct form. And you are right, there are too many clowns out there riding the name of 'functional training' as a spin to the weird ass training they are trying to push. Another great video mate.
It has been taken out of context by many people on youtube
1:19 Barbel MÖVEMENTS xD
Tell me about it. I tore both my labrums. I totally ignored my rotator cuffs.
3:06 Wait. What ?! The Humorous is not in the leg? Are you wrong or is Vinnie incorrect? 😂
haha, I was actually thinking of slipping a joke in there.
Would have laughed if this was just a short video saying no lol
I can't tell if he's right or wrong but he used Dom Mazzetti footage so I'm gonna believe him
Functional training may seem ambiguous, but it only takes a little bit of common sense to see what it refers to.
People call it functional training, because it is exercises that will train you in movements that you are more commonly using in day to day life and in your sporting activities.
For instance there is next to no functional use for pushing a machine chest press. Never in your day to day life will you call upon your pecs to push a set weight in a set motion and angle.
And this transfers to some degree to barbells. While it does have an element of application to sporting movements, I have seen so many guys able to bench well over their own bodyweight, but couldn't even dream of doing a Planche press up
Chest press machine helped me improve my pull ups, which in turn helped me in my parkour training.
It is still a good exercise for chest which in turn helps a lot of things.
Oh yeah, because a planche press up is used in day to day life.
Is it just me, or does the dude doing the shoulder exercise in the ultimate performance clip look like a jacked jacksepticeye?
For an elder guy, it allows you to walk around and open bottles. Functional training is for older people. Young people function just fine, in my experience. An example - I had a virus which destroyed my sense of balance, now I use my feet to establish where I am physically. For a young person to train this is just nonsensical, they have a far better method in the inner ear.
why did you call the video Functional training if it is about correctional training speciffically for the rotator cuff?
I know how useless the conversation of defining things as "real" is(this is real punk rock this, gymnastics isn't a "real sport", and so-on), but I often do find it quite entertaining to better understand how people hear these words. In my mind, functional training was always non-equipment training (maybe environment stuff like parkour?... maybe hood workouts?)
The British accent is such a flex and a distraction...people don't even listen to the message, they just want to hear people speaking like that:)🤣👍🏾✊🏾💪🏾✌🏾can't explainit
Do you mean the femur?
Yeah but since you can’t do a 300lbs external rotation it doesn’t look cool therefore not gonna happen. Bro.
All kidding aside thanks for the video very helpful.
haha, yep, I don't find them exciting but we have to do them.
What’s unfunctional training?
Sooooooo basically ALL training is functional training?? Or what isn’t?
Those exercise look dangerous to my shoulder
nice. well do you know that you can train your vision and be glasses free? optic industry is rigged for you to keep buying stronger glasses. look into it if you want glass free or semi free life. cheers.its about relaxing all eye muscles.
And there's nothing funny about Ole Glen's Humeral joint!
Naudi Aguilar and Fictional Patterns are like the L Ron Hubbard and Church of Scientology of UA-cam Fitness.
Functional..does it serve a purpose when applied to performing a task. I would think your bloated 5ft 300 lb juice pig body builder has zero function in real life but it's like art...each one has to define purpose.
"Has zero function in real life" competing in a bodybuilding show would be the function
Lol , he is not bloated, but normal...
Aren't you supposed to be some kind of science guy? Shoulder impingement isn't a thing. This is reductionist thinking.
